Granite, sandstone and other monumental or building stone

CPC v2.1 Code: 15130

About granite, sandstone and other monumental or building stone

cpc code 15130 covers the extraction and processing of granite, sandstone, and other types of monumental or building stone. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and infrastructure sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of projects, from residential buildings to large-scale public works. The demand for these natural stone products is driven by their durability, aesthetic appeal, and versatility in construction applications.

Production process

The production of monumental and building stone typically involves quarrying, cutting, and finishing processes. Quarrying involves the extraction of large blocks of stone from natural deposits using heavy machinery and explosives. The extracted blocks are then cut and shaped using specialized stone-cutting equipment, such as saws and lathes, to create the desired sizes and forms. Finally, the stone may undergo various finishing processes, such as polishing, honing, or engraving, to enhance its appearance and surface quality.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of monumental and building stone include the raw materials (granite, sandstone, etc.), quarrying and cutting equipment, such as excavators, cranes, and saws, as well as energy sources, transportation, and labor. The availability and quality of the natural stone deposits in a given region are crucial factors that influence the industry's operations and competitiveness.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 15130 are various types of monumental and building stone products, including blocks, slabs, tiles, and custom-shaped architectural elements. These outputs are consumed by the 41000 Construction of buildings, 42000 Civil engineering, and 43000 Specialized construction activities industries, which use these materials for the construction and renovation of buildings, infrastructure, and other structures.
